Default New Features

I am setting up a new directory located at v8rumble.com.

The entire point surrounding this directory is to get reviews of vendors to help serve the auto restoration community. Unfortunately, this is a very competitive market and falsifying reviews is a very real (and legally dangerous) problem.

To keep falsification down as much as possible, I am going to collect as much information as I can about people who review. This includes whois lookups of thier IP using ARIN and connecting to the latest hostip.info geolocation database to gather data about the user.

I will be using this data to implement some features that I hope will drastically cut down on false reviews.

My Questions:

I am currently having to custom write a lot of features. Unfortunately, that is a problem because I will have to redo them upon each update of the script. If these features are useful (as I think geolocation could be) to the community, can I submit them for inclusion in future versions?

If I do, can I get preferential treatment on a few small features I need ?

Could you help me by going to the following link, viewing the source code, and pasting what comes before the DOCTYPE tag, and verifying if that information is fairly accurate. I know the geolocation database is fairly off, but I would like to know how close it is.

I guess that's what you wanted. I guess it accurate??? It's AOL. By the way that also displays at the top of the page.

Long time Chevy Guy here. Currently have a !968 Pick-Up with a 305 cubic inch from a 1883 Camaro Z28. Less then 10k miles Slightly pumped up. A restoration in "very slow" progress.

Greg,
Thanks, thats exactly what i needed. That data gives me a few more loopholes to try and fill in, but I'll figure them out.

It only shows if you put in the geo=true, so I haven't even bothered to comment it out.

I know how those "slow" restoration's go. I have a 1964 impala that I have been working on for 2 years with very little progress. Hopefully that's all about to change (Got the new engine in the other day: 383 Stroker).

Thanks for the help,
Cyque

Greg,
Is that dialup or broadband?

DialUp

Also you may want to check your site with FireFox. Categories need some spacing.

In css find:
Code:
div.categories div.col
{
	float: left;
	height: 70px;
	text-align: left;
	width: 170px;
	padding-right: 3px;
}
div.categories div.last
{
	float: left;
	height: 70px;
	text-align: left;
	width: 170px;
}
change to:
Code:
div.categories div.col
{
	float: left;
	height: auto;
	text-align: left;
	width: 170px;
	padding-right: 3px;
}
div.categories div.last
{
	float: left;
	height: auto;
	text-align: left;
	width: 170px;
}
You should set up a forum. I could go on forever about the "older" cars I owned.
'56 59 60 64 66 68 72 Chevy And those are just the Chevy's

Greg,
Thanks for the info. I have considered a forum (and will probably set one up once the site gets significant traffic). I just hate going to a site and seeing a dead forum.

Thanks for pointing out the category problem. I was aware of it (found it last night), but I have just been so focused on getting this geolocation going that I haven't thought to fix it.

Greg,
Someone might want to update the colorburst template as well, because I started with it and began hacking. I would bet that "issue" is in that template as well.
